POSTPONED: Rethinking English Literary Culture in the Age of Alfred: a Symposium
It’s postponed until June 2021.
St Peter's College, Oxford, OX1 2DL
It is now over a decade since Malcolm Godden invited scholars to reconsider whether King Alfred really did write anything. While that debate rumbles on, the time has come to re-assess what we mean by 'Alfredian' and to take stock of the increasingly diverse work that we do under the umbrella of Alfredian studies. This major international symposium, in conjunction with a ongoing series of sessions at Leeds IMC, brings into conversation scholars working on Alfredian literature and culture, broadly conceived.
